Hi David - great to accompany you virtually on this lovely walk. Fabulous scenery and pictures. I particularly liked the two in which the clouds were catching some colour. How fabulous to be able to walk this 5 mile circuit from home.
This is the first time I've visited your channel. Subscribed! You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. I suspect the landscape changes character with the seasons and the moods of the weather. Endless opportunities for photography. That last image looked for all the world like a volcanic eruption! As for walking and photography, for me it's a matter of striking a balance. I don't make photography the reason I'm walking, but I always keep photo opportunities in the back of my mind if I happen across something interesting.
Easy explanation of why I walk so often......it's a black short-haired border collie called Jet! Often, when my wife is with me, I get to take a camera ;) Great video David thanks.
It's easy to decide for me. If I had no camera for photography I would still go out and walk in nature, but if I couldn't go out and walk, then no camera would be needed, the photography is just a bonus of the walking.
For me it is the walk, too. But the camera gives me another reason to get out the door. Once I'm there, it's about the walk. But leaving the house is often about the camera.
Yes it is not straight forward. I am the same sometimes. The need to make a video gets me out but being out gives more joy than the making of the video or the photography.
I would do a lot more walking if I lived where you do, but it's the camera that willingly drags me out into the hills (Like 16:18 in your excellent video).
For me, it's always for both The Walk, and, The Photography. I can always do one without the other but combining them both elevates everything.
Thank you for taking time to comment.

Thank you for your kind words.
I am very fortunate to live where I do.

Very similar to me then.
21:19 - I've always thought of Newlands Valley as The Shire but it looks more like Mordor in that image😁!

I think I understand where you are coming from.

Both for me.
Thank you for both watching and commenting.
